Wine
Appreciation Courses |
|
 |
Belmont Fine Wines and Spirits are pleased to
introduce a choice of two wine courses. Both courses will be
undertaken 'in house' and be under the guidance of Mr John
Burke. |
|
John has over 40 years experience in the wine
industry and has conducted over 2000 educational and wine
appreciation courses over the past decade. |
|
His vast knowledge and ability to deliver
both an educational and fun approach to his presentations has
given him a reputation of the highest level. This has been
evident in the fact that the biggest liquor retail chain in
Australia regularly uses his services and he is flown all around
the state to undertake these educational sessions. |
|
We are pleased to be able to present John
Burke to undertake a series of one evening basic wine courses
and a more comprehensive three evening intermediate wine course. |
|
Both of these courses have been developed to
give the attendees an opportunity to learn more about wines,
sample some outstanding wines and have fun at the same time.
Both these courses will be conducted at our premises and
everything will be supplied, including cheese and crackers. |
